3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 cmonster (611) - Portland, Oregon, USA - NOV 23, 2011
Bottle served in a tulip. Pours hazy orange with a medium sized white top. Good retention and lace. Light fruit and effervescent yeasty dough and brie aroma. Flavor is much the same with yeast and light sweet juicy fruits. Solid carbonation, light body, yeasty-sticky texture, and a surprising clean-bitter finish.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 pilgrimoutlaw (273) - Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 9, 2011
Bottle pours cloudy orange with foamy white head. Typical belgian triple yeast flavor with orange, cloves, perhaps some ginger. Fairly acidic and sweet, bitter. So-so as far as triples go. I’m going to put some away and see if it improves with age. I suspect it’ll taste better in about 6 months.

Orange body, white head. Very nice floral yeasty spicy aroma with orange. Great sweet yeasty flavour with spices and enough bitterness to make it a great tripel.

33cl bottle. Orange liquid with a small white head. Nose : Strong fruity alcohol notes : cherry, raspberry, peach, strawberry. Floral aromas. Yeast. Sip : Oily with a low carbonation. Sweet! Little sourness from fruits and obvious yeast. Fruits: banana with cherry. Overall : yes but not for me. Great discovery but when it comes to Watou, I prefer St. Bernardus 8.
